Cowboy Thought of the Day- if I did a thought of the day

Over the years a man has plenty of thoughts, some fleeting but some just stick with you and become part of your being, canonized to a man's sole. I thought I might share some of the ones that have helped me make the tough decisions that have allowed me to press on in this fast paced, survival of the fittest, winner take all world that we live in. Some will be original, some gleened from great pieces of literature and port-a-jons across this great land of ours. These probably won't come daily but if I did post a thought daily this is were it would be. Fell free to comment.

thanks, those are some good thoughts, it would be nice to see other thoughts from different ppl too. most all of us have little quotes or thoughts that help get us through lifes rough and turbulent times. a couple i like are (and i know they may sound cliche):
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger;
Respect, ya gotta give it to get it;
Learn from the past, its what shapes us into the people we are today.

Whenever you get to feeling really "high-n-mighty" try ordering another man's dog around.

One of my favorite thoughts is this, I had a poster in my office when I had an uppity job working for a cellular phone company. It had a beautiful sunset, and a lion in the foreground with some gazelles in the background. It read:

Everyday in Africa, a gazelle knows that it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Everyday in Africa, a lion knows that it must outrun the slowest of the gazelles or it will go hungry. It doesn't matter if you're the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

That silly poster always stuck with me. I've got more of these as well.....

Sister Leslie has the right idea about those bridges!!! Oh have I learned that one a time or two in my lifetime!!:sad2: I like the one about walking in another person's shoes/moccasins for three moons before judging them. Then there is the one from the Christian Bible. Something to the effect of "Judge Not least Ye Be Judged", or something like that. That one about being "tempered", ... ... somehow I have this idea that I've been tempered enough for one lifetime! Just like steel, you can temper and temper until you loose all the carbon and then you have just soft iron and NOT strong steel! There is the one about living each day as your last because some day it WILL Be Your Last! ... At least on this planet! For now, I'll close with "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday".Take Care, Be Safe, "Live Long and Prosper" it may be Star Trek, but that does not mean it's not worthy of using!Thanks for sharing My Brother's and Sister's.Fraternally and Cordially,Coyote1[[[[[End of Message]]]]]
